Ok so back story about two years ago I bought a 125 with factory pine stand used from a fellow reefer. Had a plumbing issue along the way and I've recently noticed some of the wood is severely water damaged. I have done tons of researched and found a diy stand design on another forum that I feel...

So I got a Net module from another member on here it works fine from my home computer. But I can't access it from off my home network. There's a ton of info out there about what I'm supposed to do to access it away from home but its written in technical jargon and I know absolutely nothing...

Hey everybody so I've had this running for a while and collecting corals for the 125g when its finally ready. Display is 24x16x12 with a glass-holes super nano with teeth overflow. Sump is just a 20L with a Reef Octopus NWB-110 skimmer some live rock chaeto and a quiet one 1200 return pump...

Ok so my issue is I want a new sump from Will Lutman but I don't know how to get my old sump out and new one in safely. When originally installed the sump entered through the top of the stand but with the tank now running that is not possible.:banghead: The stand I have is the basic pine slat...

I have some live rock from another members propogation system I was going to use in my new build that I have been keeping live for the past couple months. When i purchased it i checked it all out and it seemed clean. As I am getting closer now to starting the system up I did a very thorough...

So the 125 I am setting up came with what I believe are the stock bulkhead/barbed hose adapter combos basically its just like a normal bulkhead but the barbes adapter is built in to the bulkhead so its all one piece. I tried to use 1" braided vinyl tubing from BRS and it won't fit over the...

So Cec and I got a good deal on a 125g tank stand and sump about a month ago and although we haven't completely unpacked we are officially moved into our new location in Westchester. We have been slowly working on it the past couple weeks so here's our progress so far. Its a standard RR 6'...

Does anyone know the water depth in the Eshopps reef sump 75? Sent from the third galaxy.

Hi everyone I am looking for input on skimmer selection for a 125g with 33g long sump system. The skimmer chamber in the sump will be 11.5"x16.5" with a water depth of 8". The inside height of my stand is 25.5" so 24" is pretty much the maximum height for a skimmer in my sump. I am looking...

As I get closer to getting my tank started I am wondering if I can start to cycle my tank without light fixtures? They will be a custom special order from coralcompulsion and may take 3 weeks or so to get after I order them. So if I have everything else but the lights could I begin to cycle my...

With our 93g cube build in progress Cecily and I have been discussing quarantine. We have never done a quarantine. We have a few questions. The largest fish that would be in qt would be a small tang what size tank would you recommend? What kind of filtration? A HOB? Skimmer? Live rock? What...

Any body on here good at siliconing baffles in sumps? I just failed trying to do it myself. Its a 40Breeder 4 baffles. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks

Well Cecily and I got a decent tax return this year so we had a long talk about tanks and stuff and decided we could finally get a big tank again and this time be able to do things right. We will be able to enjoy this tank and be more patient and dedicated to maintenance which has been one of...

Here are the 3 species I am looking at for my 20g. I would like a neon and a yellowline my question is compatibility. They are so similar im worried there would be a conflict. If you have experience with them please let me know either way. The third species is kind of a combination of the two...
